Really rubbish :(
I don't like the 'pop culture' plot lines so much (except maybe the Lord Of The Rings one, that was great).
I was watching series 8 the other day and that's nearly all complete genius. This series has really disappointed me.

4-6 episodes per night, but i'm sure they didn't show right up to the end of the last series - or maybe any of it, last day i saw was imagination land then it was off for the weekend and started back at the begining again.

odd how quick the decline's been. Couple of good episodes this season but before then it was consistently brilliant. Just seems a lot more laboured now. At its best, the plot moves along really fast. This series, most of the time nothing happens. What happened in that episode? Cartman and Butters went to the Chinese restaurant, Butters shot a few people in the dick and at the end they walked away and the Indiana Jones subplot was less of a subplot and more an extended joke that was pretty crap to begin with and went nowhere.

Compare that with what they crammed into the best episodes, where loads of stuff happens and it's inventive and consistently hilarious, and it's like two completely different shows. Still worth watching, but this season has been such a disappointment.
